Vegetation Mats Substrates

Vegetation mats are practical and mostly weed-free and serve as a vegetation support layer, e.g., for a green roof. They are already planted and can be easily laid on the top of the base layer like a rolled lawn. Vegetation mats are inexpensive, only a few centimetres thick and particularly easy to maintain. They are already completely covered with vegetation. The pre-cultivated vegetation mats can then be rolled out and are the ideal solution, e.g., for a green roof, even if the statics limit the roof's height. Therefore, vegetation elements are suitable as a breeding ground and root space for green roofs, especially for extensive greening. Also, vegetation mats are increasingly used in earth-bound cultivation, i.e., everywhere where greenery is planted quickly and cheaply.

Vegetation mats enable competent and environmentally friendly greening. They offer adequate protection in all weather conditions, even in extreme sunlight and hard frosts with snow and ice. Besides, the sound insulation, thermal insulation, and microclimate are improved. 

Our ready-to-use substrates offer, by using the best volcanic raw materials, all the properties needed to cultivate a vegetation mat. The vegetation mat substrate is a ready-to-use substrate consisting of pumice, lava, sand, organic and carbonated lime.

The substrate is relatively light due to the light, porous components. Therefore the statics of the building are only minimally additionally stressed. Regular soil is often too heavy for standard roofs, with the ground to be kept moist. Due to its granular structure, our substrate can also temporarily store moisture. So you do not have to do without a natural green roof, and the roof is also straightforward to maintain.
